Amos Yee protestHot on the heels of a recent court hearing that saw infamous blogger and YouTube personality Amos Yee remanded in the Institute of Mental Health pending a psychiatric report over his autism-spectrum disorder, a group of people in Taiwan have started a small demonstration in support of the teenager.  Now streaming on live video platform Livestream, it seems that the demonstration is being held in front of the Singapore Trade Office in Taipei, the Singapore embassy in Taiwan.  The group of people arrived armed with placards bearing "Free Amos" and "Sickgapore", along with some folks donning paper masks of Amos Yee and Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong. And of course, the ever ubiquitous horse mask was present at the rally too.  According to The Online Citizen, demonstrators shouted slogans such as "Free Amos Yee!" and "Amos is not sick, Singapore is sick!".  Some Taiwanese have taken an invested interest in Yee's predicament in Singapore, especially after the the Taiwanese Animators YouTube channel released a barmy CGI cartoon explaining his case.  Photos: Livestream
